OT: Colt Percussion sites, NG's, Boards?

Hello members,

I was wondering if anyone has leads for Internet sites, News Groups, or discussion forums on Old Colt percussion revolvers.
I have Grandad's Colt model 1849 pocket 4" octogon bbl, 31 cal percussion, 5 shot revolver #123021. All serial numbers are matching, but is is showing of it's age.

Based on other FS ad listings I have found online, I believe it is pre 1860. I would like to get a year of manufacture if possible and learn more about this piece.

Thanks for any sites you can pass along, or if you have a reference any additional information.

Fritz.
